And a Ruger lever action in a 44 mag.

I'm looking for a bolt-action .243 for hunting season. Don't really care what brand.

Academy and Cabela's have both been running specials on their Remingtons, Mossbergs, and Weatherbys if you want to buy new.
If you want used.. well, enjoy your gun store & pawnshopping.

If you're spending your hard earned money, then you better care what brand.

That said, I recommend Tikka T3.

Hogue makes sculpted wood grips too. That's what my dad's Python has on it.

My dad's has rubber grips. You can call them blasphemy if you like, but nothing feels that good.

Try a Python with the Colt factory wooden grip first and then come back to tell me that the rubber grip is better.

One of my Pythons came with rubber Hogue grip (and ported barrel) because the jackass that previously owned it thought that it needed to be combat modified.

Not bad at all.

My daughter wanted an AR-15 of her own since she enjoyed shooting my AR often, so I bought her a lower reciever for her 16th birthday. She worked a summer job and earned enough money to pay for the rest of the rifle. So far she's ran about 200 rounds through it and has it dialed in pretty good.
I was a little nervous puting pink pant (in the engraving) on a new rifle but the results turned out pretty good. She's happy and now the guys at the range wont keep thinking she's shooting her dads rifle!
